What is the difference between Senior Developer Advocate vs Developer Evangelist?

AspectSenior Developer AdvocateDeveloper Evangelist
Required CredentialsTechnical background, experience in advocacy or community engagementTechnical skills, communication, marketing experience
Work EnvironmentCollaborates with product teams, attends conferences, creates contentPromotes products, public speaking, community outreach
Employer & Industry UsageTech companies, startups, open-source projectsTech companies, SaaS providers, developer communities

Both roles focus on engaging developers and promoting products, but Senior Developer Advocates typically have more technical expertise and strategic responsibilities, while Developer Evangelists emphasize outreach and community building. The roles often overlap but differ in scope and focus.

How does a senior developer advocate typically balance technical work with community engagement responsibilities?

A Senior Developer Advocate often splits their time between hands-on technical projects—like building demos, writing code samples, or contributing to open source—and external community activities, such as presenting at conferences, hosting webinars, or engaging with developers online. This balance can vary week-to-week depending on product launches or community needs, but most roles encourage collaboration with engineering, product, and marketing teams to ensure advocacy efforts align with business goals. The ability to prioritize tasks and communicate effectively across departments is crucial for success, as is staying up-to-date with industry trends and developer feedback.

What is a senior developer advocate?

A Senior Developer Advocate is a professional who acts as a bridge between a company’s engineering teams and the developer community. They help educate, support, and engage developers by creating technical content, delivering talks, and gathering feedback to improve products. Senior Developer Advocates are typically experienced engineers with strong communication skills who champion developers’ needs both inside and outside the organization. Their goal is to build relationships, encourage adoption of products or platforms, and foster vibrant technical communities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a senior developer advocate?

To thrive as a Senior Developer Advocate, you need a strong background in software development, deep technical expertise, and experience in community engagement or technical evangelism. Familiarity with programming languages, cloud platforms, open-source tools, and content creation systems is typically required, along with relevant certifications or public speaking experience. Exceptional communication, relationship-building, and presentation skills help you connect with both developer communities and internal teams. These abilities are crucial for effectively promoting products, fostering community trust, and bridging the gap between developers and organizations.

Full-time

Re-posted 26 days ago

Job description

About VictoriaMetrics

We are the company behind the popular open-source, high-performance time-series database and monitoring solution, VictoriaMetrics; as well as the open source logs database, VictoriaLogs, and our open source traces database, VictoriaTraces. Together, they form the VictoriaMetrics Observability Stack.
We are a fast-growing scaleup making our mark on the observability landscape with solutions that are simple, reliable and efficient. Fortune 500 companies use our products as their core observability solution such as Spotify R&D, Wix, Hubspot, Adidas, and thousands others. Our products have now surpassed 1 billion downloads.

About the Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior Developer Advocate, North America to be the technical face of VictoriaMetrics in the NA observability community — on HackerNews, in CNCF working groups, on KubeCon and other conference stages, and in the Slack and Discord channels where SREs and platform teams make solution decisions. This is a hands-on, technically credible role: you will ship code, write deep technical content, speak at conferences, and influence our product roadmap with what you hear from the community. You will work directly with our founders, engineering team, dev rel and marketing team, and you will have meaningful autonomy to shape how VictoriaMetrics shows up in the North American developer community.

What You Will Do

Technical content and code (≈40%)

• Write deep-dive technical blog posts

• Build and maintain reference architectures, demo repositories, and working examples on GitHub.

• Contribute small fixes, docs PRs, and integration improvements to VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaTraces, VictoriaLogs, and our overall stack.

• Produce audio-visual content alongside your colleagues; screencasts, conference recordings, podcast appearances, technical interviews.

Community engagement and advocacy (≈30%)

• Maintain a credible, non-promotional presence on HackerNews, Reddit (r/devops, r/sre, r/kubernetes, r/grafana), CNCF Slack, the Prometheus and Grafana community channels, X/LinkedIn, and the Slack/Discord communities where observability conversations happen.

• Answer technical questions, weigh in substantively on comparison threads, and help users debug real problems.

• Partner with our Marketing Manager to develop online spaces, social presence, and partner programs that encourage peer support around our open-source projects.

Speaking and events (≈20%)

• Submit CFPs to and speak at North American conferences and meetups per year.

• Run online workshops, office hours, technical training, and developer-day style events.

• Represent VictoriaMetrics on podcasts, panels, and industry roundtables.

Feedback loop and product influence (≈10%)

• Synthesize community signal into concrete, actionable input for engineering and product leadership.

• Advocate internally for feature, documentation, and DX improvements based on what you hear from users

  • Coordinate with our cross functional leads and counterparts in marketing for alignment and cohesion.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years in a developer-facing role — developer advocacy, evangelism, developer experience, or hands-on SRE / observability engineering with substantial public output.

  • Production experience with at least two of: Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Thanos, Cortex, Mimir, InfluxDB, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Loki, or Tempo.

  • Comfortable reading and writing Go. You should be able to file substantive issues against VictoriaMetrics, read the source to answer your own questions, and contribute small PRs. • Fluency with PromQL and/or MetricsQL — you can debug a slow query, not just write one.

  • Hands-on Kubernetes experience: Helm charts, operators, kubectl, the realities of running stateful workloads in production.

  • Demonstrable public footprint: personal blog, conference talks, OSS contributions, or a substantial GitHub presence.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication. Comfortable presenting to a room of skeptical engineers.

  • Experience speaking at technical conferences; ideally CNCF or observability-focused (KubeCon, SREcon, and regional CNCF meetups).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with VictoriaMetrics or similar open source monitoring and observability tools.

  • Previous experience in a user/customer-facing role

Together we will

Grow our online presence, visibility & user experience

  • Work with our Founders, engineers, the marketing team and others on meeting our existing and new users where they are with information that’s relevant to them.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary benchmarked against North American market data.

  • Fully remote work, flexible hours, and a small, senior team that respects async work.

  • Support for your professional and personal growth: you will work directly with our founders, marketing team, and our design and engineering teams; your community feedback shapes the roadmap.

  • Autonomy and active support for initiative you bring: you decide where to spend your time within the strategic priorities we set together.

  • A platform with 1B+ downloads and Fortune 500 customers — the audience is already there

  • The chance to make a real impact on our technology and user community.
